Open Letter to My Organizational Network Analysis Friends

I discovered Network Analysis and its derivations only 5 years ago, yet it has been life changing. Since then, I have sought out and used most every software, read hundreds of books and articles and have had the opportunity to work directly with many of the seasoned as well as new, network science experts.But I am always left wanting more. Mostly because of the lack of actual change in organizations, even with the clearly superior approach of ONA and the innovative ways of applying it.

This week, our new company, a spinoff of several consulting organizations, is launching what we believe to be the first, real time network analysis tool that can be used by anyone, at anytime, to deliver high performance team creation and network analysis to a group of 4 to 400 people, in 3 minutes. And did I mention we’re offering it for free right now?

  • To my friends who run software companies — I hope to help grow the ONA market. Our product does not, in any way, compete with you. The power of networks needs to be democratized to affect global change and I anticipate, with our entry, the demand for your sophisticated, focused networking tools will skyrocket.
  • To my friends who run ONA consulting shops. I hope our entry to the consumer marketplace will double the new business requests you receive.
  • To my friends who are perplexed by some of the new terminology we are using — having explained ONA to roughly 1,000 people in the last 5 years, the language in our circles is just too complicated. Yes, Personal Power Score is incredibly simple, but the average Joe gets it and wants to learn more. I love a good Eigenvector as much as the next expert, but it should stay in the realm of experts. I hope we can all use our expertise to grow market awareness among everyone.
 

Our new AI software is available for FREE trial anytime that you are. Here is a GUIDE that walks you through the steps — be sure to follow all five. We’re eager to hear your thoughts, feedback, constructive criticisms and ideas on how we can use this consumer tool to drive our industries forward.

And here is the world’s first real time network analysis and team generator: Quick Connectors/Mobile Teams

Connect your mission to the breakthrough it needs

Innovation work rarely fails for lack of ideas. It fails when what the program knows is spread across systems that don’t share a record. Bring the program, and we’ll show you where it could run on one.

Contracting vehicles

Direct award pathways, no new competition required.

SBIR Phase III

Collaboration.Ai’s prior SBIR work makes it eligible for sole-source Phase III awards. Under 15 U.S.C. § 638(r)(4), those awards may be made without further competition.

Other pathways

Where Phase III does not apply, we’ll work with your office to find the contracting pathway that fits. Contracting vehicles →
